"It would be most right, and most..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“A very short trial convinced her that a curricle was the prettiest equipage in the world.”

“One half of her should not be always so much wiser than the other half.”

“When the evening was over, Anne could not be amused…nor could she help fearing, on more serious reflection, that, like many other great moralists and preachers, she had been eloquent on a point in which her own conduct would ill bear examination.”

“Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death.”

“Man's maturity: to have regained the seriousness that he had as a child at play.”

“I am not old, but my young way was never the way to age.”

“Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.”

“Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry; Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.”

“Whoever does not respect life, does not deserve it.”
